I haven't watched it yet, but Wilman's quoted in a Guardian article about the finale, saying something that rings quite plausibly: "The films are good but they were never designed to carry this burden of being the last thing you’ll ever see from us on Top Gear."

This is especially trenchant considering that, according to I think May, they were designing something that would've been meant to carry that burden, next year. This is just what would've been a couple of mid-season features being repackaged into a grand finale they weren't meant to be. That's almost inevitably going to fall a bit flaw, particularly with the shattering awkwardness of the zombie links sequences such a format requires.

I'm not sure I'm going to watch it. I have a copy, but... I may just file it, so that my series set is properly curated, and... get to it some other time. Maybe even some other year.
